Women leaving sexually oriented businesses often make contact with us by visiting a Wednesday night group. We are launching a new Resource Center to provide individualized training and support to you as you explore opportunities for a new life. This center is open 5 days a week and childcare if available on a reservation basis.
Wednesday night support includes dinner, life skills education and a Biblically based curriculum designed to assist women in making the emotional and spiritual transition from working in sexually oriented businesses to a healthier life. Visitors meet with a staff or volunteer on their first Wednesday night to receive more information about the program so we can get to know more about your needs. Further details about joining the program are given during this time as well.((THIS IS A LIE TOOK 3 MEETINGS BEFORE SHE TALKED TO ANYONE))
Protégés commit to changing their lifestyles, living within a budget, remaining drug- and alcohol-free, and gaining the education or skills needed to acquire conventional employment. Protégés may receive financial assistance for a specified period of time to assist in their transition to conventional employment. Protégés work with a protégé advocate (case manager) to develop, and be held accountable to, an action plan to move toward a new life for themselves and their children. Through partnerships with other helping agencies and volunteer professionals, We also provides a wide variety of pro-bono services, such as job readiness training, educational opportunities, GED preparation classes, and budget counseling as well as personal therapeutic counseling.
Monthly analysis of each woman’s progress toward self-sufficiency is based on individualized educational/career plans. The average time for a protégé to reach self-sufficiency is 1-1/2 years, though many elect to remain in contact with their protégé advocate beyond that time. When women graduate from the protégé status, support services and leadership opportunities are made available to them.
This is what they say!!! BUT they do NOT tell you that they will NOT help you if you are approved for disability, and they really push you to get it, Then after the 2-3 months it takes to get accepted, into their program, They make it seem like that you are NOT able to work, BUT you are, just only 26 hours a week, with a part time job & disability, many ladies can maintain!! They tell you that if your on any medications ect, you can not be employable, THEY have a advocate there, that is on many meds. & sees demons. and openly talks about it to her ladies, she is suppose to be helping, so IF the ladies on disability for mental issues, that are less severe as the advocates are NOT employable, WHY IS SHE!!! they hired her, so why woulnd'nt other ladies be hire able too at other JOBS!! IS DISCRIMINATION LEGAL!! Why is she being denied help to lead a normal life, because she is on disability, they told her what ever income she has, would be fine, and they would help her with the rest, until she found a job, to make up the difference, she only wanted to go to school $550.00 and she could have became a CNA and made enough money to keep up with her bills legally, only needed help for 2-3 months!! She really believed in this program, and lost almost everything she had, to do what was right, by the program rules, It took her 2 months of NOT working in the business, to become a protege... she was getting food from food banks, SEARCHING FOR CHURCHES THAT HAD FUNDING TO PAY HER RENT/ELECTRIC ECT... just to live!! and then they just kicked her out, when they found out she was approved for SSI!! So where did she go..... BACK TO THE BUSINESS!!! They would not even help her with the basics, as they lead people to believe ... they receive many donations, from all over!! Even government grants!! She needs help, and they sent her away!! Because she has depression.... I wonder why she has it!!!
